Stimulating Ideas and Research
Fulfilling the visionary solar energy and sustainability research of solar pioneers John Yellott and Jeff Cook, with continued and deepened research conducted by Harvey Bryan, David Scheatzle and others, ASU is named by "Energy Digital" as the top campus in the United States for solar energy production. Eighty-nine solar systems on the Tempe campus produce 24.1 MW of energy, which represents nearly 50 percent of ASU's current daytime peak load. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, this is enough solar to power 3,366 Arizona homes.
